Understanding Rainwater Harvesting System.
Here’s a breakdown of the components and process:
Core Components:
▪️ Rooftop: The primary collection surface for rainwater.
▪️ Gutter: Channels rainwater from the roof to the downspout.
▪️ Downspout: Directs rainwater from the gutter to the storage tank.
▪️ Filter: Removes debris and impurities from the rainwater.
▪️ Storage Tank: Stores collected rainwater.
▪️ Pump: Pumps water from the storage tank for distribution.
▪️ Distribution System: Delivers water to various points of use, such as toilets, washing machines, and gardens.
▪️ Overflow: Releases excess water when the tank is full.
How it Works:
1. Rainwater Collection: Rainwater falls on the rooftop and is channeled into the gutters.
2. Water Diversion: The gutters direct the rainwater into the downspout.
3. Filtration: The rainwater passes through a filter to remove debris and impurities.
4. Storage: The filtered rainwater is stored in the underground tank.
5. Water Usage: The stored rainwater can be used for various non-potable purposes, such as:
– Toilet flushing
– Laundry
– Garden watering
– Car washing
